How Many Dental Insurance Cleanings per Year are Covered?

Did you know that poor dental health has been linked to a broad range of serious conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer? And tooth decay in children may lead to problems with eating, speaking, and learning. It’s scary, but true!

At Spirit Dental, we understand that there’s a clear connection between oral health and overall health. And we also understand that professional dental cleanings are an integral component to a complete oral hygiene protocol.

The importance of professional dental cleanings

Sure, professional dental cleanings can help you maintain a bright, attractive smile, but there’s actually a lot more to it than that. It turns out that cleanings are a key part of any smart health care strategy: 

• Receiving teeth cleanings on a regular basis may help reduce your risk of developing cavities and gum disease. It might even help prevent tooth loss as you get older.

• If you suffer from chronic bad breath, a thorough cleaning by a dental hygienist might help freshen your entire mouth and get rid of embarrassing odor.

• The foods and drinks that you consume daily could lead to unsightly stains on your teeth, but a cleaning may help remove those stains so you can show off your pearly whites with confidence.

• Maintaining good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing at home, as well as scheduling dental cleanings every year, may support brain and heart health.

• Having your teeth cleaned helps remove harmful bacteria that would otherwise have the potential to cause chronic inflammation and infection that could spread to other areas of your body. 1

Wow! Those are some really good reasons to see your dental hygienist more often! Well, with a Spirit Dental plan, you can rest assured that your cleanings will be covered, so you won’t have to break the bank to keep your chompers clean.
